It's not strange. You just need to come out, fella.

Visual portion of the latest print ad from local tongue-in-cheek bowling venue Bowlmor Lanes—"where everyone from Richard Nixon (!) to the Rolling Stones (!) to Cameron Diaz (?)" to every noodle-armed NYC dickhead hipster Puke has rolled. Prices now up to near 10 fucking bucks per person per game. For bowling. Well apparently, you're paying an extra fin for the warming irony.

I've seen a couple of the Bowl Mor ads in the ever dreadful New York magazine. My reaction is generally in the WTF? category. Lovely husband is slightly more favorable with a "don't know how it relates to bowling, but the girl is cute".
